Your Community Newspaper Since 1967 West Geauga BOE Rejects Newbury Land Proposal Staff Report In a letter to Newbury Township Trustee Bill Skomrock, West Geauga Schools Board of Education President Kathy Leavenworth explained why the board has decided to reject the trustees’ counterproposals for use of the former Newbury Schools property. “Negotiations related to the future of the Newbury site have been ongoing for Leavenworth approximately two years,” Leavenworth said. “However, it is evident that the parties still cannot reach agreement on the material terms and conditions. The board simply does not see a way to make the arrangement work for both parties without having the West Geauga Local School District shoulder a significant financial burden.” “The board of education cannot continue to retain the property and pay mounting maintenance expenses while negotiations continue indefinitely,” the letter continued. “The board is a steward of taxpayer dollars and must act in a fiscally responsible manner. Continuing to spend money on a project that does not support the board’s mission is not financially prudent or philosophically defensible.” As a result, the board took action during a special meeting May 3 to decline the counterproposals from Newbury trustees and to end negotiations. “Although it is time to move on, we remain appreciative of the good faith efforts demonstrated throughout the process,” Leavenworth said.

Retiring Police Chief Reflects on 35 Years By Valerie S. Clause editor@karlovecmedia.com
One happy accident turned into a 35-year career for retiring Chester Township Police Chief Mark Purchase. “I originally went to college for another field, but I had to fill some class time, so I took a law enforcement-related class — and that changed my course,” Purchase said during a recent interview. From then on, he knew he wanted to be a police officer. In today’s world, people go through a police academy first before they are hired by police departments. It was the opposite for Purchase. “You had to have a job first with a department and then you went to the police academy,” he said. “So, I started as a part-time patrolman and then went through the ranks up to becoming chief in March of 2006.” Though he works in a community that may seem far from the hustle and bustle of a big city, Chester is not immune to the sadness and challenges police officers often encounter. “We often see people in the most difficult times — times of crisis,” Purchase said. “I’ve seen a lot of bad ones and there won’t even be a day you forget them. You drive down the street, you hear a name and you flashback to those moments in time and it can happen at any given time. So in a way, there’s no particular incident that stands out — it’s all of them. But you learn from them and reflect on how we can do better … and file it away in your head.” Purchase perked up when reflecting on the positive outcomes he’s experienced. “Typically, we’re in the bad news business, so it feels good when something turns out well — something as small as reuniting a child with their parent, to the guys using an AED on someone and saving them,” he said. Slow to take credit for initiatives that would be showcased on any resume, Purchase admits he doesn’t like talking about himself and his achievements. However, there are a few that stand out for him — like Safety Township. Designed to teach children safety education and how to
interact with police, Safety Township is an idea Purchase brought to Chester over a decade ago. “We got the trustees’ and community support and then the Lion’s Club really got behind it to build our Purchase Safety Township,” Purchase said. “Our officers teach the courses for the kids. We keep the classes under 30 (students) and put through around 120 kids every year with no expense to the township.” The annual Christmas toy drive is another project Purchase mentioned feeling proud of, but was quick to give credit to administrative assistant Lisa Braemer and the Chester officers for their work in making the drive happen. “In four hours, over $15,000 in toys are collected for families,” Purchase said. “This also gives people the chance to see our officers and interact with them under positive circumstances, and give back to the community.” He mentioned the additions of a school resource officer and a detective to the police department as positive changes during his tenure, as well. “What I’m most proud of are the people I’m leaving behind,” Purchase said. “I know they will continue to serve the community to the best of their ability — and that is what I am most proud of.” While he may be turning his badge in, Purchase isn’t going far. He recently agreed to a part-time role as Chester Township administrator. “I’m excited about it,” he said. “I’ve been looking over from one department and now I’ll get to look at things from a wider level — helping our elected officials carry out the objectives and goals that have been set — working on the day-to-day things while helping the other departments to be successful.” Purchase sees the continuity in his responsibilities as he shifts gears. “I’ll still be doing what we all signed up to do in one way or another — community service,” he said.
One Door Closes, Another Opens By Valerie S. Clause editor@karlovecmedia.com Chester Township Police Chief Mark Purchase recently announced his retirement as of May 1, closing the door on a 35-year law enforcement career in the community. And while he won’t venture too far away — as he takes up a new part-time role as township administrator — the change spurred bittersweet emotions for those who worked with him. Ken Radtke, Chester Township trustee and chairman, said some of Purchase’s best qualities have been his passion and commitment to the people he works with and the residents he is sworn to protect. “He still brings energy, passion and commitment to the job,” Radtke said. “He has demonstrated commitment to serving people for so long and still maintains a high level of enthusiasm for the job. He gets pleasure in
seeing the success of our officers as they develop and improve their ability to serve our residents.” Bob Pomnean, a Chester Township detective lieutenant, first met Purchase in 1999 when Pomnean was hired by the police department. “He has certainly been a mentor to me throughout the years and I progressed from patrolman to sergeant to detective sergeant to detective lieutenant,” he said. “The thing I will miss about Chief Purchase is his dependability. He was always available to respond to emergencies.” Pomnean said the two have worked together on a multitude of cases over the past 23 years — homicides, suspicious deaths, sex crimes, robberies, bank robberies, burglary rings, breaking and entering rings, accident scenes, weather emergencies and blackouts. “Whenever I would respond to these See Chief • Page 10

Letter
from page 1 choice at this point,” Skomrock said, adding negotiations usually include numerous meetings, proposals and counter-proposals. “This is a breech of promise,” Quigley said, adding trustees need to consult with legal counsel Tom Fitzsimmons, who was hired this year to negotiate a deal. Newbury resident Tim Charvat asked if the timeline was in writing and Quigley said it was. Quigley said he believes when the wrecking crew is finished demolishing the high school, it will move across the parking lot to take down the intermediate school. The school board has a meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. May 9 at the middle school at the board community room, 8615 Cedar Road in Chester Township. Members of the audience discussed attending that meeting, noting Newbury children attend the school and residents are taxpaying voters of the school district. Former Newbury BOE member Maggie Zock asked what was in the rejected proposal because it
would help Newbury residents attending the West Geauga meeting to know what was unreasonable about the contents. Skomrock said he believes the proposal and property sale discussions are not public record since they were part of negotiations in executive session. “Let’s not talk about vindictive action,” Quigley cautioned. “It doesn’t help our children to be vindictive.” He predicted West Geauga wants to sell the property and let the new owners worry about any permits or changes in zoning the township zoning would allow a developer. The property is zoned residential. “We can’t do anything until we talk to our attorney,” Skomrock said. Zock said getting 100 people at the West Geauga meeting might help convince the board to let the township grow with a community center. “No doubt that would send a message,” Quigley said. On May 5, Skomrock said he emailed his questions to Fitzsimmons and was waiting on answers.

Donna Mae Zimmerman
Donna Mae (nee Wooster) Zimmerman, of Chesterland, loved life and lived it well. She went home to our Lord on May 4, 2022, with family at her side. Forever young, Donna lived her 98-plus years with endless energy, selflessly devoted to faith, family and friends. She was born Oct. 12, 1923, in Ann Arbor, Mich., to the late Leland and Julia Marie (nee Rider) Wooster. She graduated from Detroit Pershing High School and Wayne State University, earning a degree in home economics. Donna was a member of Sigma Iota Sorority, building lifelong friendships. She taught home economics, kindergarten and preschool. Donna met her husband of 47 years, Regner Zimmerman, while washing dishes at a young adult church gathering. They wrote letters to each other throughout World War II that she later compiled into a book for her family. (The edited version!) Together they built a life centered around church and their family. Some of the many activities they enjoyed included annual summer camping trip adventures when their children were young, woodworking and crafts, family vacations with grandchildren and hosting an annual New Year’s brunch. Donna was committed to keeping both her soul and body in excellent condition. She was devoted to her churches wherever she called home, as well as to her daily devotions and praying faithfully for the many on her prayer list. Donna exercised regularly and even enjoyed her first kayaking experience in her early 90s. She was careful about what she ate, but always left room for her dessert. Donna and Regner loved to travel and after his passing she continued her journey, enjoying the experiences of world travels. She had the green thumb in our family, inherited from her dad. Her plants thrived and she had lovely flower gardens. Hospitality, generosity and an appreciation for the formal were hallmarks of Donna’s personality. Cloth napkins, polished silver and supper in the dining room were just some of the ways she expressed her love for family and friends. She was a skilled baker known for her buttermilk raisin bran muffins, molasses cookies and strawberry chiffon pie. Donna was referred to by many as the “Muffin Lady.” She was a woman of many talents including sewing, knitting, and crocheting. She produced handmade afghans, prayer shawls, clothes for her children and grandchildren and Christmas stockings for her family. She began taking lessons and painting watercolors in her 70s, developing a marvelous skill appreciated by many. Donna was social, fun to be around, and a member of the Shaker Heights Canoe Club and the College Club. She loved to dress well and was a fashion model in her 80s with the College Club. Donna enjoyed a good Bridge party and gathering with “The Greenbrier Girls!” Donna lived and shared the divine attributes of truth, goodness and beauty in her thoughts, words and actions. She was our family matriarch filled with resilience and
grace. The blessings of her life impacted many and will live on in her beloved family. Left to cherish her legacy are her children, Kurt (Carol) Zimmerman, Joyce Peltz Allin and Karen (Matthew) Caputo; grandchildren, Heather, Nathan, Ray (Justine), Julia (Rick), Chris, Jill and Jeff (Tess); great-grandchildren, Raymond, Jackson, Alyssa, James, Elise, Emma, Anna, Matthew and Robert.

Wolverines, Lions Tennis Teams Prepare for OHSSA Tournament By Alan Kornspan sports@karlovecmedia.com The West G boys tennis team traveled May 5 to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin for a dual match against the Lions. In a very evenly contested match, the Wolverines narrowly beat the Lions 3-2. West Geauga’s Michael Wenger claimed the first singles match by winning both sets 6-0, 6-0. Overall, Wenger was happy with his performance and felt he was hitting his backhands and serves very well. In the second singles match, the Wolverines’ Trent Unger won 2-1. After losing the first match 4-6, Unger won the next two sets. “Today’s match, it went well,” Unger said. “The first set, I lost 4-6, and then second and third set (I won) 6-0, 6-0. “Really tough start. Eventually I pulled through and started to consistently take points off.” Unger explained the important tactical adjustments he made to adjust to his opponent’s serve. These important changes allowed Unger to win his second and third sets. “Really it was just kind of hitting it lighter, blocking it a little because it had a lot of speed on it,” he said. “And on the second serve, I would step up a lot closer since it would have a higher bounce, and then (I would) take a sharp angle on it.” Also, Unger discussed the importance of his serves throughout the match. “My serve game, it went pretty well,” he said. “I got a lot of my first serves in, which I am happy about.” West G also won the third singles match. West G’s Andrew Philip lost the first set,

but came back to win the second and third sets, 7-6, 7-6, to seal the victory for the Wolverines. After West G won the first, second and third singles matches, NDCL won the first
and second doubles matches. The Lions’ Antonio Vitale and Joshua Landgraf won the first doubles match, 7-5, 4-6 and 6-4.
The second doubles match was claimed by the Lion’s Ben Daher and Ben Tripodo in two sets. See Tennis • Page 9

from page 8 “Today’s match did not go as planned, but we were able to make some good strokes,” Daher said. “We just have to get back to fundamentals.” Added Tripodo, “West G was a great opponent, and it was good competition, but we ended up winning today.” Overall, Joe DiMattia, West G’s head boys tennis coach, said he has been pleased with his team’s performance this season. “We’re in a pretty tough league: we play Orange, Chagrin, Hawken and Beachwood, which are all very good schools,” DiMattia said. “We win the matches that we should win, and we compete in most of the other matches we play. “Sectionals is coming up next week, (and) we have the CVC tournament this weekend. I told the guys all season, you know, we play some tough matches during the season, it’s
only going to help us during sectionals. So hopefully we make a good run.” The Wolverines and Lions compete again in the OHSAA tennis sectionals the week of May 9.

Chief
from page 4 calls, I knew he would be there as another set of eyes and ears, or just a partner to aid in the investigation,” said Pomnean, recalling a recent incident where they both responded. “As I turned on the street, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the chief turn down the street right behind me,” Pomnean said. “At that moment I thought, ‘Wow, this might be the last time I respond to a call with him.’ It was a very strange feeling and reminded me of how nice it has been working for a chief that truly has the best interest of his men and community at heart.” Some of the community projects Purchase was a driving force in includes the Safety Township Program, Operation Santa Sleigh, numerous food drives and the Keep in Touch program, which is run for the elderly in the community. “He was very involved with the well-being
of the town,” Pomnean said. But retirement will not be all golf courses and fishing for Purchase. Instead of a leisurely life, Purchase will continue to serve the Chester community as its township administrator. This new position will be a 20-30-hourper-week commitment. A high-level view of the job responsibilities include: general administration supporting the goals, objectives and policies of township departments and the board; being responsive to the public; providing a point of contact for facility and property requirements; assisting with human resource management; and oversight of township levy activities. At the April 21 Chester Township Trustees meeting, some residents questioned whether the trustees had the authority to hire a person into an administrative position without having a public vote. Radtke explained the board does have the legal authority to hire into positions the board feels are needed, much like when they decide to hire police officers or EMTs. Trustee Joe Mazzurco said there has been a need for someone to respond to the day-to-day needs of the community and to be able to respond in a timely manner. This administrative position will serve that need. Radtke added a township administrator will also add continuity to a situation where there’s potential for trustees to be changing every few years. And while some residents questioned the position during the meeting, the overall sentiment was that Purchase was appreciated. “I love Mark Purchase,” one resident said. “This has nothing to do with him. This has to do with the administrative position.” Cpt. Craig Young was named as the new chief, beginning May 2, with a yearly salary of $96,470. “In June, captain Young will have been with the Chester PD for five years,” Radtke said. “He values education very much, and given the good group of young officers we have, developing them and keeping them engaged will be important to his success.” Radtke believes the transition will go well and that this promotion is part of a succession plan. “Last year, at the recommendation of chief Purchase, Craig was promoted to captain with the expectation of developing and evaluating his ability to serve as our next chief,” said Radtke. “Given that Mark Purchase’s legacy will be reflected by the officers at the Chester PD, his recommendation for Craig to serve as our next chief says a lot about captain Young.”

Chester Township Government Update The Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting on April 21 began with a review of the township’s Bureau of Workers Compensation claims history. Mara McClain and Jeff Costin (via phone), of Sedgwick, which is the township’s BWC third party administrator, discussed rates and rebates of Ohio Township Association Group Retro BWC membership and the refunds Chester can expect through the group participation improved work safety. The township welcomes Jasmine Pierce and Jesse Scarvelli as two new part-time EMT/firefighters to the Chester Fire Department. They are recent graduates and the board is happy to have them starting their careers with Chester Township. A 2008 Chevrolet Malibu was purchased in the amount of $3,000 from the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office. Township fire inspectors will use the vehicle when conducting inspections within the township. The board accepted the resignation of full-time firefighter Frank Virant as he took a new position in another community. Virant will continue providing part-time service to the township. Part-time firefighter Chad Heppert has taken a full-time position in another community. Both he and Virant will be on a 90-day leave of absence while they complete their training. Trustees are thankful that both firefighters will continue to serve the residents of Chester Township in a part-time capacity. The board also accepted the resignation of part-time firefighter Jon Farley who has been unable to meet necessary work hour obligations. Because of challenges with staffing, the board approved extending the
memorandum of understanding with the firefighter union to allow for time and onehalf pay to fill certain shifts. The scheduling is at the discretion of Fire Chief Bill Shaw. The Chester Zoning Commission continues its work on a proposed amendment to address accessory buildings with the proposed amendment being presented to the Geauga County Planning Commission for input. Under guidance and recommendation from the Geauga County Prosecutor’s Office, the board approved two resolutions that will authorize and define how monies from the American Rescue Plan Act can be spent. The board also approved spending authority up to $1,000 for the new police chief, Craig Young, and township administrator, Mark Purchase. The board discussed the draft of the township’s organizational chart and mission statement. A policy concerning employee speech had previously been approved and the board continues work on drafting polices for digital imagery, electronic communication resources, code of ethics and code of conduct. Trustee Mazzurco is working with a contractor to get a cost to repair the ball field lighting at Parkside Park. The board entered executive session at the end of the meeting and approved and accepted the retirement of Police Chief Mark Purchase and approved the promotion of Craig Young to police chief effective May 2, 2022. The board is thankful to have both of these dedicated public servants working for the people of Chester Township. Submitted by Ken Radtke Jr., Chester Township Trustee

LG Demonstrates Strong Leadership Through Service By Kristin LeFeber editor@karlovecmedia.com Leadership Geauga is in the business of building strong leaders who give back to the communities in which they live and work. To illustrate its efforts, the nonprofit organization holds an annual Service Day. This year’s, held May 7, was especially robust, as it included two simultaneous events in two different locations across the county. The first event, held in the West Geauga Plaza parking lot in Chester Township, was a “Stuff the Truck” event. There, current LG class members helped collect food and household items for the Chagrin Falls Community Park in Bainbridge Township. The second event, at Century Village Museum in Burton, was a beautification project, where members of various LG alumni classes came together to redefine and plant garden beds and lay a walkway in front of the general store. “I am excited that we are doing both events on the same day,” said LG Executive Director Meredith Ashkettle. “It shows the impact that Leadership Geauga has on the county and we are engaging the whole family.” Out in Chester, current class members handed out flyers to Giant Eagle customers making them aware of the opportunity to give. Large vans donated by Honda of Mentor and the Chardon Polka Band stood by to be loaded up. “When they dropped us a line, I said, ‘Absolutely,’” said polka band member Jake Kouwe. “We have worked with Leadership Geauga before and we are always happy to help the community.”

Members of various Leadership Geauga alumni classes worked together at Century Village Museum in Burton to help beautify the grounds on May 7.
Out in Burton, alumni class members were armed with shovels and rakes clearing grass and dirt to lay paving stones and to plant. River rock and other materials donated by several local landscaping companies were piled and at the ready. Exscape Designs, McCaskey Landscaping & Design and Vinecourt Landscaping, Inc., all contributed to the Century Village Museum project. “I have been inspired to watch both the alumni committee and the service committee make the calls and connections needed,” said Ashkettle. “And to watch the community embrace and support this day for us.”
